Derrick Rose and the Bulls recently clinched the Number 1 seed in the East bracket of the 2011 NBA Playoffs.

The Chicago Blackhawks will be able to defend their Stanley Cup title since barely squeaking into the playoffs thanks to Dallas’ loss on Sunday, April 10. In basketball, the Bulls locked up the No. 1 seed in the East, and Derrick Rose proved once again why he should be the league MVP. Going around the horn, the Fire lost on Saturday, and on Sunday, the Sox earned a win and the Cubs added a loss.

To put this all in perspective, Eight Forty-Eight spoke to Cheryl Raye Stout.
